Our Apologies

Two days ago we deployed a fun new mini feature to Shopify. We now congratulate our customers on their 100th order and make it complementary to celebrate the occasion. Unfortunately a unfinished version of this code made it on our production servers without QA noticing. So last night when the code ran it accidentally sent out the E-Mail to every shop that has 100 or more orders instead of just the handful of stores that hit 100 orders on this particular day. To make matters worse, these emails referenced an order that didn’t actually happen in the store. So yes, you can stop looking for the order by “Lenin V”, he actually exists and he actually ordered something from Shopify, but not from your store :)

We have fixed this problem since then and we do apologize again for the confusion created. We promise more rigor in testing these deployments.

What has happened to SMB Nootropics and their sister Site SMB Nutrition ? Their sites are now unreachable! Whats up? Their phone number (1-800-762-4318) still works but you get a recording explaining nothing. What happened? Somebody forget to pay the bill?——-BOLT

October 27 2016 – still no response from smbnootropics.com, site is down. Apparently they are out of business.
